Hi,
I am seriously toying with the idea of an old S-Class (not a coupe). I have about a £5k budget. Ebay seems to have plenty, as does Auto Trader.
I'm thinking under 100k miles + FSH, not too fussed about expensive gadgets (that go wrong?) but would quite like to 'go large' on the engine. I read somewhere that the S500 is the pick of the bunch. I like the look of the mid 90's S-Class cars - is it true that the build quality is actually better on these than the turn of the century models?
Plus, I gather road fund is cheaper on a large engined pre 2001 car.
Anyway, if anyone has anything they can write down to help me decide, I'd really appreciate your comments.
Bye for now
